Answer 1

To determine which side length would complete the rectangle, we first need to convert all the given measurements to the same unit. Let's convert everything to inches for clarity.

1 yard = 36 inches
3 feet = 36 inches
0.75 yard = 0.75 × 36 inches = 27 inches

Now we have:
- 0.75 yard = 27 inches
- 3 feet = 36 inches
- 1 yard = 36 inches

For a rectangle, opposite sides must be equal in length. In this case, we have two lengths (36 inches) and one shorter length (27 inches), so the remaining side would need to match the shorter length to complete a rectangle.

Thus, the correct answer to complete the rectangle would be:

**27 inches**.
